Katana Blade is the long steel blade of a katana, with no handle fitted. It is high grade sword steel for blacksmithing.
Its value lies in reforging. At a forge it becomes a Shortsword Blade, a Sword Blade, a Machete Blade or a Simple Sword Blade. The Forge Scrap Metal Shortsword recipe turns it into a finished Scrap Metal Shortsword.
The blade also teaches. Research Craft on it teaches several sword forging recipes and the Forge Straight Razor recipe. The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.
Uses
The best results need an Advanced Forge and eight Charcoal. The Forge Shortsword Blade recipe needs Blacksmithing level 7 and gives a Shortsword Blade plus a leftover Katana Blade Shard. The Forge Sword Blade and Forge Machete Blade recipes both need level 9.
Simpler work runs at a Simple Forge or better. The Forge Simple Shortsword Blade recipe needs level 6 and also returns a Katana Blade Shard. The Forge Crude Sword Blade recipe needs level 8 and gives a Simple Sword Blade.
The Forge Scrap Metal Shortsword recipe runs at a Primitive Forge or better at level 5. It takes the blade, four Charcoal and a Rag, Denim Strips or Leather Strips.
A Steel Bar fills the same slot in all of these recipes. A spare blade melts into four Steel Chunk at an Advanced Furnace.

Notes
- Research Craft teaches Forge Simple Shortsword Blade, Forge Crude Sword Blade, Forge Shortsword Blade, Forge Sword Blade and Forge Straight Razor.
- The shortsword recipes give a Katana Blade Shard back, which still makes a knife.
- The blade saves forging a Steel Bar first.
